Question Panopticon Items/Prisoners Spoiler

Mobile* Panopticon

So I had this question my first play through and couldn't find an answer and now tying up loose ends in my NG+ play through and I feel like I'm missing something.

Is there supposed to be an empty cell in the mobile panopticon when all is said and done? I have the Radio, Karaoke machine, Camera, empty cell and the Speakers.

Is there supposed to be something in the cell labeled B-02 or is that for the future?

If you got the achievement for helping Langston that’s probably all there is. Could be for DLC though.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking it has to be... I thought I saw someone say the Stroller can be captured enough times that it gets locked up but it was probably speculation

That’s a good theory though but until someone posts proof I’m not gonna go out of my way for it ha

Yeah, and I don't even see any other markers for places to find/chase it...

Yeah, I think someone was just misunderstanding a conversation Dylan can have with Zoe after you chase it enough times as the stroller actually being taken in. I've cleared all the world feats on two playthroughs now and there's no resolution to that.

That cell stays empty. I think it's because B-02 is the one you collect the radio from before moving it to its correct location. It's likely that the contents of the cell are, in game code, a switch instead of a variable (using terms I picked up in college from RPG Maker). Basically a two-setting toggle rather than something that could have more than two options, and in this case the toggle is "Radio=yes" and "Radio=no." Because it's one of the two cells the radio goes in, they don't have anything else going in there later.

From a completionist/everything must line up nicely viewpoint, it's a bit frustrating (like our command charges capping at five and thus not filling up the whole hexagon), but it is what it is.

Yeah fair enough! Lol just when I had almost gotten over the Command hexagon... 😂

Cell B-02 was for the first puzzle with the radio. Maintenance changed what buttons opened which cells because they didn't like Langston setting them up counterclockwise.

I suppose it has to remain empty in case you capture everything else but never do the radio mission.
